A lovely recording of a sadly departed superb fiddler who surprisingly is not to be found on the records listed on the this site. Although not a straight traditional player he did play may traditional tunes and composed many great pieces. This was his last CD, released posthumously, where he is joined by Nuala Kennedy

Unfortunately, Oli Schroer’s recordings are really difficult to get hold of this side of the pond. You can’t even get "Horseshoes and Rainbows" on iTunes. Would love to get hold of "Smithers" (if "Caitlin’s Smile" is anything to go by) which I believe has tunes (59 in all) that he wrote as goodbyes for his students.
